Comfort and Excitement

A Relaxing Sanctuary

This estate is ideally suited for entertaining, with easy access to the nearby pleasures of Saint-Tropez

By Phil Butler

The winter dining gallery features seating for many guests and unobstructed views of the manicured grounds.

Featuring a very private location, this classically styled home is surrounded by lush gardens with terraces overlooking the fabled Saint-Tropez, a resort town on the French Riviera. Set on two acres of manicured gardens, the estate is a five-minute drive from the waterfront at Vieux-Port.

The 5,393-square-foot villa features seven bedrooms and baths in a design that’s a mix of traditional provincial style and modern chic.

Upon entering the villa, owners and their guests are welcomed into a grand entrance hall that leads to a double reception room. Also on this level is an airy salon with a fireplace for chilly mornings, as well as a well-equipped kitchen adjacent to the formal dining room and a spacious bedroom and private bathroom. This suite provides its occupants a relaxing view of and easy access to the surrounding gardens and grounds.

The upper floor is the location of yet another spacious bedroom and bathroom, with these accommodations further enhanced by a terrace ideal for enjoying an intimate meal while taking in the scenery provided by the gardens and pool, with the sea as a backdrop. On the garden level, there are two additional bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and a separate apartment that can be used as staff quarters or a guest room.

The grounds are accented by elegant terraces and patios dotting the well-groomed landscaping and an oversized heated swimming pool; the view for those in the pool or the adjacent lounges looks out over the grounds and offers tantalizing glimpses of the sea, making this a perfect setting for al fresco meals and late-night dips. Other notable amenities include a dining terrace, a winter gallery, and an outdoor kitchen. Adjacent to the main residence is a luxurious guest villa with three additional bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms.

With Saint-Tropez a short drive away, the owners and their guests have convenient access to five-star restaurants along the waterfront in Vieux-Port, which can be followed by exploring the citadel, shopping at chic boutiques, participating in world-class nightlife, or spending time on the famous beach, which is said to often be dotted with jet-setting celebrities.
